Grateful Diary 3.0

Super distracted today, but got what I needed to get done sorted, so all good.

Now just need to rid fold that pile of laundry on my bed. Someone promised to fold all the laundry in the future. Looking forward to that. 

Grateful for the buggy ride to the gate in the rain today.

Felt incompetent during the online course today because I couldn't grasp all the tech stuff as quickly as the rest. And made a lame attempt to get everyone to start working together as a group.

Nonetheless, grateful for the boyfriend who puts up with my bad behaviour and tantrums.

Dog days. Can't quite tell why though.

Nevertheless, today I am grateful for plasters and spare pair of slippers in the office.

Phase 2 Day 1

Sippin' On Feelings - Tep No

Week 2 of Being 32

It does not get easier.

I don't seek to be understood, but it's nice when people do.

I'm not sure.

Rain makes me emo. That best describes it.

But a timely, warm hearty bowl of soup is miracle cure.

Three, Four, Five and I Lost Count

New and recent little pleasures:

1. Fresh toast in the morning
2. Receiving that good morning text 
3. Going to bed and feeling contented
4. Getting in touch with long lost friends
5. Having milk in the fridge
6. A good workout
7. Having a routine
8. Having someone to get mad at but still love and miss
9. Sunsets
10. Opening the windows in the morning and allowing fresh breeze into the room
11. 10-min yoga session every morning to get started with the day
12. Staring at my photo wall

I hope everyone finds their own little pleasures too!

Too Much Cake

Double workout.

Bed time.

Day 2 of 32.

Cake Diet

Mhmm. 

Dream came true. 

I wanted cakes and I got plenty!
Breakfast, lunch, dinner - eat cake.

Eight - IU [Acoustic version]

This is my most recent feel good, fluffy, happy song. That said, it's supposedly a sad song. 

But well. Whatever makes me happy. Mm. Yup.

You say I am strong when I think I am weak

When was the last time you looked out your window and just admired the sun setting in the horizon?

You Say - Lauren Daigle

With the work from home arrangement the past month, staring out my window in the evenings is becoming one of my most favourite activity to do.

Today, I was reminded reminded that it's okay to be anxious, it's okay to be unsure, and it's okay to doubt from time to time, because in the end, He is always faithful.

Try it. Pause and stare out the window once in awhile.

Way Maker

Before I even get to my main content for today, let me state that I just realised I had a half-written draft on my reflections for 2019 sitting in my outbox. It was dated 30 December 2019.

It's an incomplete piece of work, I have no idea why I didn't finish it, but in any case, it is not going to see the light of the day. Perhaps, I'll be more diligent and get around to writing, completing and posting a reflection piece on 2020. Maybe.

So, what brings me back here today after a long, long while? It only took a text.

My favourite uncle in the world dropped me a text to ask if I've stopped writing. So, that's why I am back.

Hm. There's a lot going on in the world today, and I have read so many opinions and comments that I am actively trying to refrain from saying anything because I feel like the world needs less comments and more introspection.

I am using this time to reflect on what is truly important to me, who really matters, and what my priorities are. I urge you to do the same.

For those of us who can afford to slow down, eat warm meals, listen to music, wake up and talk to family and friends via chats and technology, spare a moment also to remember that there are also others who don't have the same luxury.

So, let's not take anything for granted. Be grateful, and be kind.

I love this tune, and I hope it also encourages you who are reading this post today.

Way Maker - Passion 2020

Last but not least, today marks the 7th month of my (not-so-new) dating life! If you ever read this which I highly doubt, congratulations to us on making it this far, and I love you!

P/s: I am so sweet.
